A stunning French 19th century Louis XVI st. mahogany and finely chased ormolu buffet, most likely by Mercier Freres, Paris. The buffet is raised on six bun feet with acanthus leaf wrap around ormolu bands. Above each foot, at the straight frieze, are fine protruding ormolu rosettes framed within an elegant brass fillet. At the center of the frieze is a richly chased female mask in a satin and burnished finish. Each of the three doors are decorated with splendid lattice parquetry, also repeated on the sides, with an array of elegant C scrolled foliate, rosette mounts and opulent ormolu keyhole escutcheons. Each drawer is adorned with ormolu pulls in a foliate pattern. Above lays the original thick mottled Red Levanto marble top and matching back splash. The scalloped back splash is decorated with sensational scrolled acanthus leaf mounts at each side and a grand and richly chased central ormolu mount of a lion's head amidst acanthus leaves. This buffet is part of a complete dining suite. — Read Less
